How to improve the reproductive ability of meat pigeons

Meat pigeon is now a main direction of raising pigeons in China, and it has a very large breeding area in our country. When raising meat pigeons, the reproductive ability of meat pigeons is the key to ensure the sustainable development of pigeons. Therefore, many people are very concerned about improving the reproductive capacity of meat pigeons, so how to improve the reproductive capacity of meat pigeons? Mainly from four aspects, the following editor for you to briefly introduce, let's have a look!

1. Increase the laying rate

If you want to improve the reproductive ability of meat pigeons, then the first thing to do well is to increase their egg laying rate. We should do a good job in the matching of meat pigeons. when pairing, the age of male pigeons is better than that of female pigeons. Because the male pigeon's nesting ability is relatively strong, and the young female pigeon is just the opposite of the old male pigeon, likes to move outside, the nesting rate is relatively low. Therefore, if the old male pigeon is in the house, it can trigger the estrus of the female pigeon, thus increasing the laying rate. And the quality of its eggs is also very good, so when we pair up, it is best to match the old male pigeon with the young female pigeon.

2. Improve the hatching rate.

After improving the laying rate of meat pigeons, the hatching rate of meat pigeons also needs our attention. When we are in the meat pigeon incubation period, we should be careful not to disturb, especially for caged meat pigeons. If the meat pigeon is frightened when hatching, then the bad guy phenomenon is very easy to appear. Meat pigeons will run around in the cage, causing damage to breeding pigeons. And we should also pay attention to improve the fertilization rate of meat pigeons, in the meat pigeon breeding period, we should properly feed some peas and other feed to improve the fertilization rate of breeding pigeons. Then it is necessary to ensure that each meat pigeon has sufficient space to avoid interference between breeding pigeons.

3. Improve the shelling rate.

Under normal circumstances, as long as the egg laying rate and hatching rate are guaranteed, then the shell rate is generally not very low. However, if we want to improve the shelling rate, then a suitable feeding work is still very important. Within half a month after the breeding pigeon begins to hatch, pay attention to bathing the pigeon regularly. If it is caged, then it is necessary to properly increase the humidity of the pigeon house, but do not have to take a bath. If it is free-range, then this work should not be ignored, so as to reduce the hardness of pigeon eggs and facilitate the shell of young meat pigeons.

4. Improve the survival rate

Improving the survival rate of meat pigeons is the key to ensure the reproductive ability of meat pigeons. In the breeding of meat pigeons, generally there will be a nesting phenomenon, generally a pair of breeding pigeons carry a maximum of 4 squab or so. If there is too much, it is easy to lead to unbalanced feeding and death. When feeding squab, feed some small particles properly, but not too much. Avoid breeding pigeons affecting the growth of squab too much in time. Then we should also pay attention to proper disinfection to prevent from being harmed by germs and produce diseases.

The above is a brief introduction to how to improve the reproductive ability of meat pigeons. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
